Richard Bentley Family Land Barons?

After years of cheap talk about buying land for a cabin in Utah, it looks like it is going to happen. We will close on buying 5 acres in Tabiona in mid November. I have attached some pictures, some of which show our new neighbors who are selling the land to us. It will probably be about 5 or 6 years before we build a cabin, but until then, anyone who wants to go up can enjoy the family tradition of camping with no running water. A few notes: When Marisa and I went to look at the land we saw a huge bull moose. Jim caught 10 fish in about an hour in the nearby Red Creek Reservior.

Speaking of Jim.... We first went up to look at the land the night of BYU's loss to Florida State. We were going to go the next morning, but in our depression we decided to drive up to Tabiona and hopefully not spend a cold night in the car...for it could be no colder than the pain in our hearts given the football game.

We ended up finding a row of tiny cabins (Not hobbitville stuff; the doors were normal size.) We couldn't figure out where the management was, and it was really late, so we decided to just start trying doors on the cabins. The first one we tried opened, and we went in. After stripping down to our skivies and jumping into what could only be described as a one man bed, we tried to fall asleep. I think both of us had nightmares about someone kicking in the door with a shotgun and asking us our buisness.

It is hard to say if it would have been more embarrassing to be caught staying there illegally, or more embarrassing to have to explain why we were together in our undies.

We had to get up at the crack of dawn to see the land and still make it to the airport for my flight, so we left them some cash on the dresser along with a lovely note thanking them for a nice evening.

I am having photo problems. I put them in tomorrow.

xo,

R and Fam.
